Homogenization apparatus for pepper raw materials

Abstract

A homogenization apparatus for pepper raw materials, including a base, and an annular storage tank and a stirring barrel fixed to the base. The stirring barrel is positioned under the storage tank, the bottom center of the stirring barrel is fixedly connected to a stationary shaft, the stirring barrel is rotationally drivable to rotate together with the stationary shaft about the axis of the stationary shaft, the stationary shaft extends upward into the storage tank, a sleeve is provided on an outer side of the stationary shaft, the sleeve is rotatably connected to the stationary shaft, so that the stirring barrel rotates relative to the storage tank; a portion of the sleeve accommodated in the stirring barrel is fixedly connected with a stirring part, an upper end of the stationary shaft is fixedly connected with a connecting plate.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a continuation of international application of PCT application No. PCT / CN2020 / 136159 filed on Dec. 14, 2020, which claims the priority benefit of China application No. 201911359639.8 filed on Dec. 25, 2019. The entirety of each of the above-mentioned patent applications is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this specification.BACKGROUNDTechnical Field[0002]The present application relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, and more particularly, to a homogenization apparatus for pepper raw materials.Description of Related Art[0003]Pepper pungency degree is classified into mildly pungent, moderately pungent, highly pungent and very highly pungent according to human perception. Currently, our company produces different pepper powder products based on pepper raw materials of different pungency degrees. However, pepper purchased from various regions has differences in pungency degree...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent describes a device for mixing pepper powders in a storage tank. By laying the powders layer by layer and rotating the stirring barrel and storage tank, the device achieves uniform mixing of the powders. The pepper powders are also remixed as they fall from the discharge chute. Compared to previous solutions, this device is cost-effective and has a consistent pungency degree. The transmission assembly in the device includes a bevel gear and a secondary bevel gear, which provides a high torque for power steering. The transmission assembly also includes a transmission pulley and a chain or belt for flexibility and stability. The connecting plate is fixed to a right-angled plate, allowing for convenient steering.

Problems solved by technology

However, pepper purchased from various regions has differences in pungency degree, due to pepper's planting and growth climates.

Thus, the produced pepper powder products have non-uniform pungency degree, and some pepper powders have different pungency degrees with the calibrated pungency degrees.

However, in actual production process, the storage mechanism is annular, and if there are differences in the pepper powders fed to each portion of the discharge hopper, the stirring structure cannot homogenize the pepper powders at each portion of the discharge hopper, and thus there is still a small difference in the pungency degree of the pepper powders finally taken out by the take-out mechanism.

The house can prevent the pepper powders from entering between the transmission part and the transmission pulley, thereby affecting the stability of the transmission.
